Description:
In the north wall of the kitchen was a rectangular niche. The niche was located 0.95m above the floor. According to Boyce, there were traces of cult paintings on the walls around it, however, it is not mentioned what these were. The wall that held the niche has since collapsed and so the shrine is no longer preserved.
